One thing we do at @EniacVC is keep our investment pace roughly constant over time. In venture, pacing tends to accelerate when valuations spike and slow when they contract. Mathematically, that’s backward: if you deploy pro-cyclically, your capital-weighted average entry price

16 years ago today, November 19, 2009, we officially incorporated Eniac I. Still feels like Day 1, just with slightly more gray hair. Grateful for all the founders who continue to inspire us every day. Here’s to the next 16. 🚀🚀🚀

One of my pet peeves is when VCs confidently predict the public markets like there aren’t tens of thousands of ivy league educated public market pros who are wrong half the time

Series A and B markets are strange right now. It is harder than ever to raise, but the few companies that do are raising very large rounds at higher valuations. A and B volume is way down while median valuations are way up. This would seem to indicate the market is getting

Every tech wave eventually faces the same question: who pays for it? AI is hitting that moment now. Every major computing wave brings its own foundational models, infrastructure, apps, and monetization layers. We saw it with the web, mobile, cloud, and crypto—and now it’s
